Crash

So, our computer crashed...that iswhy I've been MIA. We haven't lost anything as far as files, pictures, etc. go(so thankful!!!) but we have lost the computer. It'll probably be a little bit before we can replace it so I'll be a little more few and far between for now. Thankfully, Chris has a laptop for work so I can at least check emails and stuff at night but nothing is really compatible on here from our other computer because we use a MAC at home. I have to admit I'm a bit put out with electronics right now... our computer, our portable phone, and our video camera are on the outs. No fun!!

I'll try to still get some updates up here and there so I'm not totally behind but not sure how much I can realistically promise!!

For now, I did want to document a few things about sweet Cohen:

1. He now has 3 teeth!! 2 bottom and 1 top. I've gotten so use to him with that gummy grin, that it is weird to all of a sudden see teeth there!! But, it's a new kinda cute and I love it.

2. On the same subject, Cohen had his first dentist appointment and he did great. He cried a little but not too bad. The dentist said that for now, she thought his teeth look great and that the enamel was normal, shiny, and strong. This is a huge blessing!!! With, DI, different teeth can be effected differently and there can be varying degrees of visual symptoms, so we're still sort of waiting and seeing but we are praising God for seemingly strong teeth for now that aren't requiring any immediate medical intervention!! And I've got some adorable pics of him having his first ( sugar free of course) sucker!!(i'll have to wait until we can get a new computer to post those because they were already uploaded off my camera!!!)

3. We are so proud of Cohen right now.. he has made so much progress over the past few weeks. To the outside world, I imagine that a lot of it looks small individually, but to us, it's huge and put it all together and it's quite a big deal. We couldn't be more thrilled. He's been gesturing a lot more for his wants and needs, doing a few signs(more and eat), and vocalizing more. He's bearing some weight on his legs in a "pulled up" position for a few seconds, and occasionally tolerating quadruped. He's also been problem solving a lot with his toys, putting objects in containers and in small openings, rolling balls back and forth, and using his pointer finger more. And get this... two times this week, I have found him...

.....SITTING UP IN HIS CRIB!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seem him in action but know it might just be around the corner now!!



Yea Cohen!!!!
